Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1.5 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Powdered ginger
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and powdered ginger to create a rub for the wings.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they become crispy when baked.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the spice rub and toss them until each wing is evenly coated.
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice to the melted butter and mix until well combined. This will be the glaze for the wings.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them with the lemon-butter glaze using a pastry brush.
Serve the wings immediately while they're still hot and enjoy!
